Chapter 387: We Implore For You To Reconsider!
-----
After the group reached the tower once more, they entered the hall where the Great Ancestor was waiting for them alongside Matsuo\'s parents and the Elders of the Clan.
"We are back, Frank retrieved everything, so it\'s all good," said Matsuo rather casually.
"Ah, good… Now Frank… What do you plan to do for now? We can offer you a small piece of territory here if you so desire to stay. I could even… No, I can give you this tower as well, if you want," said the Great Ancestor, many of the Elders were left speechless!
"What!"
"T-The tower? My lady…!"
"But the tower is…"
The tower of the Monk Clan was a special structure, it was a part of the divine realm where everyone was residing, which was made by Amaterasu, the tower was held within several doors, each door leading to a different space, a special Domain where different types of monsters emerged continuously. People here often came to train their strength, techniques, magic, abilities, and also to collect materials and Magic Crystals. If Frank were to get ownership of such a place, he could have immense authority over the entire clan!
And the Great Ancestor just wanted to give it away to Frank so casually?!
Why?
"It is the obvious thing to do to compensate for the mistakes I have committed. But even then, I suppose that such a thing would never be enough to replace the loss of your parents… Sigh… If it is not enough, I am willing to give my body and soul to you, Frank, I shall become your woman and so, the entire Clan will be yours as well," said the Great Ancestor.
"EH?!"
"W-What?!"
"G-Great Ancestor, you didn\'t speak about this with us!"
Matsuo\'s parents were just as shocked.
Everyone glanced back at Frank, while Gwendolyn\'s fiery eyes flashed with interest as she glanced at the Great Ancestor.
The Great Ancestor felt the glare of the flaming kitsune as she felt a small chill run through her spine… She felt like she was courting death!
Frank was left speechless, but his face seemed expressionless, so the Great Ancestor thought that this wasn\'t enough either…
"If that\'s not enough… We can also give up the Clan\'s treasures, all of them, alongside the scrolls left by my grandmother, and even the maps that lead to the inheritances of the other Gods," said the Great Ancestor, desperate for Frank to accept already…
But Frank was immutable!
…Because he was shocked.
"(What?! What is she even talking about?! Wait… this is amazing but still… I don\'t feel like this is right…)" thought Frank.
"What is this?!"
"G-Great Ancestor!"
"We implore for you to reconsider!"
"Please!"
"Elders, we have insulted the pride of Amaterasu by not being able to properly unfold Gaia\'s task, and our own incompetence ended in the death of both of the Guardian of the Planet\'s parents! How do you think this should even be compensated?! It\'s a terrible sin, an insult to all of humanity, to the entire world! We are nothing else than an antagonistic force to the wellbeing of our world, the least we can do is to repent and offer everything we have to restore the honor of our family!" said the Great Ancestor, shocking the Elders.
"But if we lose everything what honor there will be?!"
"We will have nothing…"
"Please... T-This is… too much!"
"Oh~? I like this woman. She seems devoted… And willing to repent for her mistakes," Gwendolyn whispered to Frank, as Frank felt a chill run through his spine…
He had never considered the Great Ancestor herself as a wife! He had barely met her sometimes! He barely knew anything about her, to begin with!
But Frank was also attracted by the offers… the treasures, the clan, everything…!
"F-Frank?" asked Kamei while feeling pressured by the aura of divinity that the Great Ancestor exuded…
Frank suddenly muttered some words without thinking it through.
"I accept- Ah!"
"EEEEH?!"
All the Elders, including Matsuo and his parents, fell over their own heads over the ground!
However, the Great Ancestor sighed in relief as he nodded.
"Thank you for accepting our apology, my lord. I hope that we can serve you well," she said.
She called Frank "My Lord"!
A literal demigoddess, the granddaughter of the legendary goddess Amaterasu!
RUMBLE!
The entire tower shook in shock!
"G-Great Ancestor… H-How could you…"
"This… S-She called him "my lord"?!"
"T-This is the end of our millenary clan…"
Frank glanced in shock at the lovely smile of the Great Ancestor, such a smile implied that she was already ready to give her heart to him!
Wasn\'t this… way too much?!
Even for him…
He realized that he had accepted without thinking it too much… But it was too late, he already accepted.
Suddenly some kind of seal emerged on his hand, in fact, it was the same that the Great Ancestor had done before, however, this time, it changed in appearance and resembled a blazing sun of divine properties, flashing with bright light, it filled Frank with some kind of essence.
Ding!
[The [Divine Brand of the Monk Family of Tokyo: Level -] Skill has awakened into the [Amaterasu\'s Divine Protection: Monk Clan Lord] Skill!]
"Eh?! Seriously?" thought Frank in surprise, even the Brand awakened, turning him from a member into the Lord, which also came packed with the divine protection of this ancient goddess of Japan!
Gwendolyn quickly nodded.
"So that\'s how it will be. Very well, but for now, you will go through a series of dates, and also you will have to wait for your turn, Cathyl and Vheslia are left, we can\'t let them behind just because you\'re a Demigoddess or something," said Gwendolyn.
"Eh? I-I see… (I don\'t get it…)" said the Great Ancestor.
"B-Brother? What\'s going on…?" asked Kamei.
"I think… I just became the Lord of the clan…" said Frank.
"Huh…" muttered Kamei, trying to figure out some kind of logic behind all these series of insane events.
"I-I guess I am calling you Lord from now on…" sighed Matsuo.
"Ahaha…" Frank laughed with a bitter smile.
